Things That Live in my Purse

[bonny_kate]

(none of them alive, although I could probably fit a small dragon or a hamster if I tried)

This probably isn't a meme, but it should be. I am at work, and there's nothing to do, so here are some things that I keep in my purse (in no particular order, and irrespective of pockets).
- checkbook
- small notebook (mostly filled, but I haven't replaced it yet because it has important things in it, like directions and thoughts on Buffy)
- directions to the beach on a (very battered) 3x5 card
- compact (mostly for the mirror)
- vaseline lip therapy
- 1 G jump drive (I don't know why this lives in my purse, but it does)
- inhaler (my asthma very rarely acts up, but I do occasionally need this)
- small box of tic-tacs
- small box that used to contain tic-tacs and now contains midol
- pocketknife (with multiple blades)
- pen
- extra pen
- gum (Trident Wintergreen, because it is my favorite)
- key to my friend's house (if it lives in my purse, I don't have to hunt it when I visit and possibly forget to bring it)
- mp3 player (because the CD player in my car is possesed and ejects invisible CDs (or real ones) for no reason all the time)
- earbuds for the above (not that I listen to music at work, but this way I could if I wanted to)
- Kleenex
- wallet (containing very out of date pictures I keep meaning to update, credit cards, business cards, cash, change, library cards for two different districts, key card for work, insurance information, and so on)
- keys (which include my Albertson's card, library card, and Serenity keychain)
- glasses in case

I feel like this is the hair discussion on R'ville. Every so often, I must detail for you the details of the random things I keep in my purse, just as every so often I'm nostalgic for discussions on what everyone is doing with their hair (I've been wearing mine the same way for a while, which is medium length (between chin and shoulder length), curly, no bangs with some layering). So, friends, what have you in your purse (or, if you are Joel, what must you carry around in your pockets)? What is your contribution to the hair discussion?

How do you survive? I've tried cleaning out my purse, but nothing is really that optional. some things I use less, but most I use fairly regularly.

I don't survive. Grr, argh.

I tend to keep things where I need them. My car has chapstick, kleenax, a pen, paper, coins, a parking pass for work, and directions to various places. Those are all nifty things, but I don't need them with me all the time. My checkbook lives in my desk, because I use my credit card for most purchases. My music is on CDs in my car, or CDs in my roommate's CD player.

See, I need kleenexs with me, as well as pen, coins, checkbook, inhaler, and "girly" sort of things. For a while I kept my glasses in a case in my car, but I use them for watching a movie, shopping, and so on.
